I know friends who will have a party at the drop of the hat.  They love getting friends together, buying a keg or some wine, and just having as many people as they can into their three-room apartment or run-down rental house.  I’ve never been that kind of guy.  I’m not a big fan of having people in my space (no matter how well I know them), especially since there are people out there who’ll steal the gold teeth out of your head.

It wasn’t repossession, and they weren’t wanted for recycling.  It was just flat out theft, and possibly for vindictive rather than financial reasons.  The person who is accused of grand theft dentures is also accused of kicking in the fender of his 1996 Monte Carlo and his Oxycodone.

What a great way to start off the first month of 2009, huh?  Dented fender, stolen grill, and no drugs to ease the pain.  On the bright side, his year can’t get much worse than this, I guess.  At least not without losing a limb.  I guess I’d better knock on wood so this poor guy doesn’t get hit by a bus!

No word on what kind of party it was, but I imagine he wasn’t grilling out.  (Sorry.)

In the movie The Social Network, Sean Parker asks Facebook founder Eduardo Saverin a question:  ”You don’t even know what the thing is yet.  How big it can get, how far it can go.  This is no time to take your chips down.  A million dollars isn’t cool, you know what’s cool?  A billion dollars.” [...]

When you’re preparing to receive a billion-dollar windfall in the biggest IPO of all time, it’s a smart move to flee the United States.  Eduardo Saverin, who was Mark Zuckerberg’s friend and business partner at Harvard, owns about 4 percent of Facebook stock as a result of his many court battles with Zuckerberg.  That’s going [...]

In 1978, Loretta Lynn brought actress Sissy Spacek onto the stage at the Grand Ole Opry and announced, to the world, that Spacek would be playing Loretta Lynn in an upcoming biographic film.  That movie, Coal Miner’s Daughter, won Spacek the best actress Oscar and helped turn Loretta Lynn into an icon far beyond her [...]

The change was overnight.  Gone were the heavily hairsprayed helmets and greased-down locks of the 50′s.  The product was minimized; the cut was the thing according to Vidal Sassoon, and he crafted some of the most iconic hair styles of all time at his London, England salon.  He would later go on to revolutionize the [...]
